freitasm: Got home now and installed the router. Thanks Skinny for providing this for a couple of weeks testing it.

Very easy, the UI is uncomplicated, firewall available, WiFi management including MAC filtering, gigabit ports for wired network. Here in Johnsonville at my address currently have 3/5 bars and speedtest still shows 42 Mbps down/17 Mbps up

What model Huawei device is it? Just interested in looking it up on Google for specifications etc.

Streaming House in HD on Netflix now... Moved the box to the lounge, close to where the HTPC is so I could plug via ethernet. It's now showing 4 out 5 bars coverage instead of the 3 out 5 in the home office.

Geese: After 10 years of total rip off mobile broadband, finally an alternative from Skinny mobile which is affordable and with more data than I'll ever need.

Except, as I understand it, it's not very mobile because you can't take it from place to place. Eg. if I had this at home and decided to spend a week at my bach, I couldn't take it with me and use it there. Would be very pleased if I was wrong on that one. Perhaps someone can clarify. I've spent a small fortune on Skinny's mobile data over Christmas.

This is a fixed cellular broadband solution. It uses cellular infrastructure ("mobile data") but it's set to one address. Think capacity planning, minimum service, etc, etc.

When you activate it will record what cell site you are using and if you move it then you will get a friendly call. You can change address though and take it with you. I don't know if there's a limit in how many times you can change addreses - if there isn't then you could possibly take it with you on a holiday and have it on a fixed spot.

If your batch is also in coverage, then you just change address for the week.

Chorus has spent $1.4 billion on making their xDSL broadband network faster. If your still stuck on ADSL or VDSL, why not spend from $150 on a master filter install to make sure you are getting the most out of your connection?I install - Naked DSL, DSL Master Splitters, VoIP, data cabling and general computer support for home and small business.Rural Broadband RBI installer for Ultimate Broadband and Full Flavour
